He pulled a phone from his pants pocket and casually operated it with a thumb.
A moment later, an electron beam resembling lightning shot down toward Queen Regnant
Elizard’s head.
Of course.
This was not enough to kill Elizard.
“Ohhh!?”
She roared and swung Curtana Second overhead. She released the omnidimensional
slicing in the shape of a crescent moon to slice apart the electron attack that could easily
bisect an underground nuclear shelter.
The beam of bluish-white light scattered like spray.
“Don’t let this surprise you,” said Accelerator. “If I’m doing this, I’m using everything I’ve
got. If you’re gonna harness the power of the UK as a whole to win this, then I’ll harness
the power of Academy City…no, of the science side as a whole. All for this one victory!!”
“Damn…you!!”
But it did not end there.
The massive electron beam was only a smokescreen. In truth, there had been a cylindrical
hole down the middle like it was a giant piece of macaroni. And that meant there was
room to send something down that empty space.
The item had already been launched from the space station to the surface.

“Don’t assume that was just a bunch of light. I said I’ll use everything and I mean it. By
destroying the tunnel, you scattered it everywhere. …I believe in Academy City it was
called Mimosa.”
They were surrounded by a sound much like the rustling of leaves. But they were on the
stone roof of Windsor Castle. Unlike in the artificial woods, there were no leaves to rustle
here.
These were microscopic specks of metal.
Those micro-weapons would respond to EM waves by opening and closing their tiny arms
and tearing away a human’s cells one at a time.
“Tch!!”
Did Elizard realize what it was?
Or had she decided to cut through space with Curtana’s omnidimensional slicing to block
up the area between them with ruined material no matter what was approaching?
“You want to change the world by wielding some great power?” roared Elizard. “Don’t
make me laugh, monster! It is the power of the people that changes the world!! We can
only ever show them the way! Did you really think the power of an individual could change
history!?”

And it was not over yet. With control of the Mimosa gone, the prison of fluff was destroyed.
And the true threat appeared from within.
It took the form of lovely flowers.
However, these were predatory plants with sharp scythes and sturdy mandibles made of
flowers and other plants.
They looked a lot like orchid mantises.
But instead of being camouflaged, these insects really were made from plant material.
“!?”
“Flower Resistance. Cloning and genetic manipulation isn’t exclusive to animals. In fact,
with selective breeding, it’s a lot more common with plants. …It honestly sickens me to
see it, but this kind of shit is free to roam the city if I don’t get back there. And then there’s
no changing the world.”
The swarm of mantises would devour human flesh and yet were as beautiful as jewels.
They rushed toward Elizard with the force of a sandstorm. These plants moved faster than
animals, moved more powerfully than animals, and would feast upon animals. …That was
the extent of the abnormality made a reality here.
“Don’t worry. They won’t ruin your country’s ecosystem. They’ll apparently somewhat do
what you tell them with a remote because they’re susceptible to EM waves.”
